Maybe you just want to print one prepress proof copy of your own book to see how good our book printing services are. Our press proof service is tailored for authors who want to have a copy before printing for distribution to make sure it's the quality they want, as it's our way of ensuring you're happy with the final product before you order more.
Your press proof shows exactly how your finished print book looks and feels before committing to a full bulk order. And because we run our very own printing facility in Pennsauken, NJ, you can expect every book we print to have that same consistent quality. If your book isn't exactly to your liking, we'll make it right. Our printing experts will perform a free prepress review that guarantees your book files are ready for the presses. Have peace of mind knowing that your book will turn out just the way you want.
Choose any trim size, book binding option, full-color text... you name it! It's only $99 to see your book in glorious print. Use our simple quoter to select your trim size, page count, binding options, and more. When you upload your art and content, approve your proofs, and place your order, your press proof will be rushed off into production.
When you purchase a press proof from BookBaby, your print book will be identical to each and every copy printed. Whether it's a hardcover or paperback, in full-color or black & white, all of your books are printed using the same exact equipment for the entire printing process, which is not often the case at other places.
